Established in 2014, the Melbourne Ageing Research Collaboration (MARC), aims to improve the lives of older people. #Dementia#EOLC#Falls#Tech#MentalHealth
Today marks Australia’s third #AgeismAwarenessDay. The day is a reminder to all Australians that #ageism is still rife within the Australian community. This includes stereotyping, discrimination & mistreatment of people solely on the basis of age.
